It is not really a window, but back in 1996 when I put the shed up I decided it needed a window.

So I bought a old window with panes, and used an old plastic lace tablecloth of my Grandmother's and made a curtain. I guess the idea was good because my neighbor did the same.
But the lace has browned and Mr. thought I needed a new window

So he said he had something for me?!

A bag of linens! He has someone who rents space from him that is a picker and electrician.

He has not paid rent in 8 months so my husband looked through to see if there was something he could use for my window.

amazing the bag had 8 pretty names with a "H" on them..our initial!
great job!

four pretty blue edged ones

I like the sweet little baskets

The lace he showed me I could not bring myself to cut up.
A very large ivory lace tablecloth.

One with lace on the edge

and a battenberg lace tablecloth
even better, they all were in great shape.
I think they may be going to 1515 with me.
Told Mr.s to get back down there in the basement again.
Last time he brought something from the basement stack was this.

yes, my little enamel top cabinet, the top was perfect and we painted the bottom

instead I used a curtain that came out of my Grandmother's garage.
Looks good, he was right it needed to be changed.
I had no idea Mr was a picker!!

About Me

Enjoying the simple things in life. Watching the hummingbird, finding a new cousin while working on my genealogy, cutting my roses, finding a new treasure at a antique store....NOW that is excitment to me!
I have a 2 story Victorian with a wrap around porch, where my husband and I live with our dog Greta and cat Boots. I had to, it had a pink door the color of my Maternal Grandmothers house and pocket doors like my Paternal Grandparents house! In 2009 I bought my Paternal Grandparents home 2 hours away, in the town where I was born, we call it 1515. It was meant to bring my cousins and I together more often but it has been much more than that.
Oh it is a sentimental life!
